Ecology and Environmental Studies
UF owns a living laboratory!
The Rieck Center for Habitat Studies showcases diverse habitats, including: woodlands, flood plain and prairie. A bird observation room with feeding station and butterfly/hummingbird gardesn are also featured.
Molecular Biology
Unique laboratories focus on molecular techniques, including gel electrophoresis, PCR and protein chromatography. Students can collaborate with faculty on independent research projects.
Mycology Lab
Students at The University of Findlay have the opportunity to work in a
mycology lab filled with the entire mycological library of world-renowned mycologist, Dr. Emory G. Simmons, thanks to his generous donation. The branch of microbiology that deals with fungi, mycology, is infinitely more interesting than collecting and growing mushrooms. Varieties of fungi are being used in the treatment of cancer, to filter wastewater, and, yes, in gourmet cooking.
Bioinformatics
The University of Findlay has partnered with The University of Toledo to offer a degree option that integrates biology, computer science and mathematics. Students can earn a bachelor's degree in biology and a master's degree in bioinformatics in just 5 years!
